Sinister: Pebbles
by Nick Dastoor/BSHO/GB 09 Dec '97

09 Dec '97

Unrelated questions: Has anyone actually seen a pop concert ('gig' still makes me feel kind of queasy - not sure why. Mind you 'pop' is getting that way too - always seems to be used to make a point these days. Ooops - digression!) at the Manchester Town Hall? I seem to remember someone saying that Stuart Murdoch just picked it as a venue because he like the look of it or something. When I lived in Manchester I only really thought of it as the place that the daft inflatable Santa was mounted. Don't remember any bands playing there. What's it like as a venue? "A hand over my mouth / A hand over the window" Just listening to this last night and wondering what other people think it might be referring to. Don't worry all you analysisophobes - I'm quite happy for it to stay a lovely ambiguous line without particular meaning, but I just thought maybe I was missing something obvious. Is it all the other boys turning from queuing to marauding, perhaps?

Sinister: no fox...
by Amanda Bergman 09 Dec '97

09 Dec '97

but certainly snow. It's 3:30AM here and for some reason I am still awake, working on sundry papers and listening to Dog on Wheels and 3, 6, 9... alternately in my CD-ROM drive, with headphones on, and it's snowing outside, drifting in front of streetlights, coating the cars and the sidewalks in a soft blanket... soft blanket. I could use that about now. to anyone who hasn't already: download IRC software so you can participate in the upcoming band chat! the chats that have been going on as sort of test runs, I guess, have been infinitely amusing. And FYI, Macintosh users: the best software that I have found is ChatNet, even though it's only the demo version and will automatically log you off every 20 minutes. That or MacIRC, which is a little less user-friendly but still better than GlobalChat. As David informed me, you can access all these programs at ftp://ftp.undernet.org/pub/irc/clients and pick your very favorite one. I'm pretty familiar with all the Mac stuff at this point, so if anyone's got any queries about that feel free to drop me an email. Well. Work, then slumber for me. If only there were a fox to go with my snow... ta, Amanda ------------------------ Amanda Bergman Northwestern University a-bergman(a)nwu.edu "I wanna be mesmerizing..." --Liz Phair ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Sinister: lightning seeds
by Richard North 09 Dec '97

09 Dec '97

Well I am utterly, utterly stunned. I have just come back from the Astoria in London to see the Lightning Seeds live. They were absolutely, truly, phenomenaly brilliant. I was expecting M.O.R. radio friendly pap. But instead I got a display that quite frankly 'rocked' like nothing has ever 'rocked' before I have seen Radiohead twice and Catatonia. Whilst all good gigs this beat them all. I'll see you all in London when B&S play there next year Oh yes I will be there A reformed 'Seed' - northy from the paw of the pink panther or just Northy being escapist? _________________________________________________ ``A man is as old as the women he feels.'' - Groucho Marx ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Everything but the Girl is boring....i prefer the "second sinister-list band" i mean, Erasure :o) (No i don't !!!!!!!!! Depeche Mode *WAS* better) *Dog on wheels* has a Spanish "feeling" or am i mad ? A B&S song with a Brazilian "feeling" could be nice. (Don't forget Stereolab,Pram,Siesta Records Bands...and some many others) French music and Bossa Nova are so LOVELY ! (Brigit Bardot and Tom Jobim are so COOL, Don't you think so ?) Someone told me that Brett Anderson loves a Brazilian singer called Marisa Monte (He has a Brazilian friend living in London,i think...) God ! I like Suede.... but Brett has a bad taste for music. I mean, Marisa Monte,Raissa,Strangelove..... I hope he does not like Belle & Sebastian ! :o) Ivo A P Escossia "Um barquinho e um violao esse amor e uma cancao...."

Sinister: B+S Manc. gigs - ANYONE GETTING THE TRAIN FROM LONDON?
by S.C. JAYAWARDENA 08 Dec '97

08 Dec '97

hey there, this is a bit of an urgent message. i desperately want to go to the manchester gigs obviously, and i have my tickets, but my ever-so-slightly over-protective mother won't let me travel on the train alone from london despite the fact that i am meeting friends when i get to manchester. she reckons the carriages will all be empty because it's christmas (? - don't ask me...) so i am basically looking for people who will be getting the train from london to manchester either duiring the day on friday or on saturday morning, so that i can tell my mother i will be perfectly safe and she won't try and stop me going. PLEASE e-mail me NOW if you can help me out, because i am only at this address until FRIDAY 12th DECEMBER. cheers LOADS. samanthi jayawardena. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
